Ooh, bigripper, why do your headlights look like they are white? thats a nice look over the stock or Joey mod. Will get picks of mine up here once:

1. I wash it and immediately take pics.
2. Spring w/ new wheels

Wash may come sooner but who knows when it will happen

I don't think BigGrippers' lights are white, but rather it's how the light is hitting them in the shade light. Mine looks sorta that way too in the shade.

New Eclipse Gray MCS in Northern California

Just joined up on the forum and it says I should post a hello message in 1st Gear, but why not among my fellow Eclipse Gray owners? I had configured an Ice Blue on the website but those don't seem to be available anywhere yet, at least not at any dealer in California. No matter, I think I'm happier with Eclipse Gray - I think the darker color is a little stealthier, and I like that.

It seems obviously green to me under most lighting conditions. It's what I love about the color.

I noticed the greenish cast when I was viewing some EG MINIs on the lot prior to ordering mine. I found it a bit concerning at first especially since it was hard for me to visualize it with a contrasting red roof/mirrors. In the end, it was a leap if faith that I'm glad I took.
